Although a few transfers have managed to stir up the otherwise calm waters of this summer’s transfer market, based on the current activity, the ongoing transfer window is far from being one of the most exciting.One player who could change that is Victor Osimhen, who is expected to make a move this summer. The Napoli striker is on the wish list of several clubs, but the expectation is that he will leave the Apennine Peninsula for Chelsea, Arsenal, or Paris Saint-Germain.Maresca has more to learn! City easily crush Chelsea 2-0!According to Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri, Chelsea have the edge in the race for the Nigerian’s signature. Tavolieri reveals that Osimhen has been waiting for six months to join the Blues, as they are his preferred choice for his next career step. The same source claims that PSG has definitively withdrawn from the pursuit of Napoli’s center-forward, while media reports from England suggest that the French giant could reenter the race only if they part ways with one of their current strikers, such as Gonçalo Ramos or Randal Kolo Muani.##NAJAVA_MECA_8275712##In the coming days, Chelsea might solidify their leading position and initiate negotiations. One option from the London club’s perspective is to reduce the transfer fee by including Romelu Lukaku in the deal. The Belgian striker has been deemed surplus to requirements at Chelsea, so if Napoli agrees to this proposal, the Premier League side could kill two birds with one stone. However, this outcome seems less likely, as Napoli sees the sale of Osimhen as practically their only chance to fill the club’s coffers and secure funds to sign Scott McTominay.According to Corriere dello Sport, the Manchester United midfielder has agreed on personal terms with Napoli, but the Scottish international’s move to the foot of Vesuvius is contingent on the sale of Osimhen, as the Serie A club does not have the €30 million that Old Trafford is demanding for his release.Mikel Obi said Chelsea will finish 7th this season. pic.twitter.com/yjfqIKup3b— POOJA!!! (@PoojaMedia) August 16, 2024 While the football world awaits a signal from Naples, Antonio Conte, the coach of the Italian club, modestly commented on the situation surrounding the Nigerian striker.”I don’t talk about players who aren’t part of Napoli’s squad. The situation around Victor Osimhen is 100% in the hands of the club and the player. I have no intention of getting involved in a matter that began before I arrived at the club,” said Conte.
